Here is a map of all the pumpkin parades happening around town this Sunday. Not too many in our neck of the woods. Shall we see if we can get more than nearby Dallington?

Pumpkin Parade and other events

Fall has arrived at Dempsey Park!  A quick message with a few nearby events.

The autumn colours are really starting to pop.  Join the many photographers who are coming out to explore the colours and angles and options in their craft in the next few weeks.  Please share you photos on our facebook page, or submit them to the website. http://dempseypark.ca/submit

This morning a block to the north at St. George on Yonge is a community bazaar and craft sale from 10am-2pm.  http://stgeorgeonyonge.ca/event/community-bazaar-and-craft-sale/

This afternoon join Dempsey Park-ite Emma Biggs and her father Steven at the North York Central Library as they host a session on Gardening in the Children's' Storyroom from 2-3pm based on their book GROW GARDENERS: Kid Tested Gardening with Kids.  http://www.growgardeners.com/the-book/

Wednesday evening at the Civic Centre, 7-8:30pm, join the residents in the immediate area around the park at the launch meeting of the new West Willowdale Neighbourhood Association. https://westwillowdale.wordpress.com/events-2/

And mark your calendars for November 1, the day after Halloween, as we'll be hosting our 2nd Annual Pumpkin Parade!  Bring your jack-o-lanterns and light them all up as a community together.  Details to follow, and please get in touch, [email protected], if you have some ideas on making it a great event.  http://dempseypark.ca/pumpkinparade

Check out the list of Parks and Movies around the city getting free outdoor screenings courtesy of TIFF40 and Park People.  We caught SONG OF THE SEA last week.  The remaining 8 screens all look good.  If you haven’t seen MANUFACTURED LANDSCAPES it is a must (except it is in Mississauga).
